Trading NQ Using PA Only

Quote from eminitrader007:

Agree, but when you get stopped out on every trade for a week, it is time to re-evaluate. I was doing good when the market was up. I can just wait to see if the market holds the 880 support and if it does then back to my normal set-up.

Today I took only 1 trade for a loss of -1, had I not used the TRIN to enter I would have been stopped out on every trade.
Okay, but bear in mind that there are different ways of trading PA. While channels may have some merit, I find that they are a fairly blunt instrument given to frequent false signals and generally require larger stops than I prefer for my own trading.
 
good day overall. I was able to catch the morning rally. I received few PMs and suggetions. One of the suggestion was to not take a trade if the low today is less than the low yesterday. This is a good suggestion. I started looking at support and resistance on the daily and 30 minute chart too.

3 trades...3 winners.

Total 12.5 points before commissions.

This is a different set-up that I trade than the one mentioned in the first post.

Edit:

Filled

Stopped out -2 points.... Seems like I got out at the very low.
 
2 resting orders,

BL: 68.25
S: 66.75

BL: 66.25
S: 64.25

Trading longer time frame.

Target 91 or exit at close.

Edit.

Since the exit of 1 is close to entry of 2, I'll move the stop to 64.75.

Filled 1 and stop moved to 67.25.
 
Stopped out on the first trade and went long at 66.25.

2 trades, 1 win (7.75), 1 loss (-1) for a total gain of 6.75 before commissions. Good day because I entered the limit orders and stops and went away from the computers and came back 30 min before close only.
